Since then, the group has put out two EPs — 2015’s SRiD and 2017’s We Have No Friends? The group also released two singles in 2019 for Existential Playboy, “Our Time” and “Away Message.” Self-produced, “Diabolik” certainly highlights Surf Rock is Dead’s potential to be a hot item for indie fans in 2020. Between the aesthetic appeal and the catchy melodies, the track is prime material for any summer playlist.
